unTraditional Anniversary Gift Idea

It is tradition to buy anniversary gifts related to a specific material for each year of marriage. This tradition started in medieval Germany and has been adopted by most nations. Sticking to a traditional material can make the gift more meaningful whether for your own anniversary or for another couple…and adding a sexy touch will just be extra meaningful!

Here is a fun list of ideas for each of your anniversaries based on the traditional and modern materials.

First Year Anniversary
Traditional: Paper
Modern: Plastic

Paper:
A sexy first anniversary gift for paper would be a book like Kama Sutra Step By Step that takes you through the traditional art of love making from sensual touching to provocative sexual positions. Getting the set Blow Him and Going Down would be both rewarding and considerate!

Plastic:
Sex toys like BGee to help her discover her G-spot, or BGood that is versatile, or BNaughty to hit the perfect spot will keep the marital bliss going.
Adult DVDs would also keep the fun going. Choose from educational themed DVDs or erotica.

Second Year Anniversary
Traditional: Cotton
Modern: Cotton/Calico

Lingerie with cotton like the Cupcakes Cropped Cami and Short set is both sexy and comfortable. A calico print vibrator like the Temptress or an animal print Wild Cat lingerie set from Betsey Johnson would have her purring!

Third year Anniversary
Traditional: Leather
Modern: Leather

For the third year, Honey has some even racier ideas! Leather Corsets such as the Leather Corset with Purple Ribbon, Leather and Lace Baby doll or Teddy would be stunning. Combine the outfit with Leather Under the Bed Restraints and Floggerella for some light bondage and you will have an anniversary to remember.

Fourth Year Anniversary
Traditional: Fruit/Flowers
Modern: Linen/Silk/Nylon

For a fun take on fruits/flowers you could plan a sensual anniversary evening with your partner starting with a lovely bath sprinkled with the Rose Bath Petals and moving on to a lovely massage with fruit scented Making Love Sensually Flavored Massage Oil in strawberry or kiwi-pineapple. Mix and match your anniversary themes and wear the sexy silk thong with bow with a sexy pair of nylon stockings such as the Sheer Backseam with Lace Top Stockings or the Romantic Lace Body stocking.

Fifth Year Anniversary
Traditional: Wood
Modern: Wood

A creative gift to fit the wood theme would be an adult board game like A Hot Affair that was awarded Adult Board Game of the Year. Or 101 Nights of Great Romance with sealed pages for romantic rendezvous all year long.

Tenth Year Anniversary
Traditional: Tin
Modern: Aluminum

It’s time to splurge a little bit for your tenth anniversary with a luxury toy like Jimmy Jane Little Chroma. Made of beautiful metal with a colorful array of colors and a high quality motor. The One Touch Silver Bullet or Elite 5x Bullet would also be a delightful way to celebrate your tenth anniversary!

Think outside the box for a fun adventure to every anniversary!

G-Spot Orgasms

“The G-spot is not a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. It is a place in your body…It’s a real, tangible thing, like my breasts and your clitoris, and you can even see it. But for some reason, lots of people seem to think the G-spot is a myth. Or a rumor…No – it’s a real thing, and it makes you come, hard, period. No deep wisdom, soul-searching or goddess worship necessary. But a little knowledge helps.” (The Smart Girl’s Guide to the G-spot Book)

Even with our modern sex education the G-spot has often been misunderstood and thought to be a myth of unreal proportions. We at Honey wish to state that this is untrue and the G-spot is very real and a great way to enhance your sexual experience and keep the orgasms coming.

What is the G-spot?

Around the urethra is a ring of spongy erectile tissue that both men and women have and it is essential for your orgasm pleasures. It is connected to your clitoris and the nerve ending are packed with pleasurable sensations when stimulated.

Where is the G-spot?

Your G-spot is located about 2” inside your body on the upper wall of your vagina towards your belly button. Remember that everyone is created differently so your g-spot could be slightly further or closer than the average 2”. When you become aroused the tissue of the G-spot begins to have a different sensation, it can feel slightly ridged and firmer to the touch and often described in books as being similar to an almond. This is your G-spot, and once you’ve found it you can begin to enjoy a whole variety of new sensations! Some great books for learning more about your G-spot are The Smart Girl’s Guide to the G-spot and Female Ejaculation and the G-spot and if you learn better with visuals the Expert Guide to the G-Spot by Tristan Taormino DVD or Maximizing G-Spot Pleasures DVD are great options.

Stimulating the G-Spot

Stimulating the G-spot is not like stimulating the clitoris, to fully enjoy the sensation of G-spot orgasm you need to press more firmly then you would for clitoral play and that can take some getting used to. Sometime when you are playing with your G-spot you can begin to feel like you need to go to the bathroom, this is not usually the case but to relieve your mind we recommend going to the bathroom before playtime. Begin by getting yourself aroused so the G-spot swells and then gently insert your fingers or a toy, curving upward and pushing firmly. Try stroking firmly with the “come hither” motion. Using firm toys such as the Tulip G, Chubby G or Lelo Gigi are fantastic for G-spot play because they allow you to press more firmly without much effort. Once you have become more familiar with your G-spot you may want to try a toy with a bit more flexibility such as the Fun Factory G-swirl, or Worm Vibrator that will provide you with a softer and more flexible G-spot stimulation.

Play and Experiment

With your G-spot stimulation you may find that you prefer different sensations over others, you may prefer a very firm solid sensation that can be achieved with the Masagi Glass Toy or to have it rhythmically stroked with a swooping sensation with a toy like the Rabbit Habit or Thrusting Hummingbird. You may enjoy having your clitoris stimulated at the same time, which can be achieved with dual action toys like the G-spot Rabbit or Fun Factory Paul and Paulina. Experimenting with different toys and sensations is a great way to learn your body and discover what is most enjoyable to achieving an internal G-spot orgasm for years to come.

Sharing your G-spot

G-spot stimulation does not need to only be a solo exercise, your partner would probably love to join in the fun and they can use their fingers or control a toy to help you achieve orgasmic bliss. Certain positions such as being penetrated by the rear or her on top can also help to achieve maximum G-spot sensation during intercourse. Using sex positions tools such as the Liberator Wedge and Ramp combo can help you to maintain certain G-spot friendly positions with ease. Great options to discovering positions to stimulate the G-spot during intercourse are The Expert Guide to Positions DVD and The Art of Sexual Positions DVD.
A new dual action toy called the We-vibe can be used during intercourse to stimulate the G-spot and clitoris simultaneously while also providing him with some well-deserved vibration sensation. Sharing this orgasm can help teach your partner more about your body and how you enjoy being touched and caressed.

Female Ejaculation

Many women ejaculate when their muscles contract during a G-spot orgasm. Firstly congratulations, you have found a new avenue of sexual pleasure, secondly do not freak out, this is a different fluid from urine and a completely natural and common occurrence amongst women. If you do not ejaculate there is nothing wrong either, sometimes having an object such as a toy can block the ejaculation from happening and you can do so after it has been removed, and sometimes women do not ejaculate. If you are one that ejaculates, using the Sex Blanket that is completely waterproof but soft and sumptuous, can keep you sheets clean and dry especially if you produce copious amounts of fluids.

Remember there is no right or wrong when exploring your body, what feels right is usually right!

A sprinkling of silk rose petals from our Bed of Roses across the bed and floor, music from Exotica Chocotasy CD and some sexy goodies such as the romantic pleasure feather and Ceramic massage stone help complete the experience.

The most powerful aphrodisiac of all is the pure enjoyment of one another. Spending some extra time over the holidays to relax with one another in a sensual atmosphere will do wonders for your relationship and sexual enjoyment.

Valentine Picnic In Bed

Feeding your desire

Sex and food have been erotically linked for ages. Think of Marc Anthony feeding Cleopatra grapes. Casanova is rumored to have shared oysters with his lovers to stimulate their sexual appetites. And who doesn’t remember the steamy kitchen scene in 9 1/2 weeks? It’s not unusual to feel a familiar tingle while slowly savoring each bite of your favorite flavors. After all, aroma and flavor tease the senses in bed and at the table alike.

A Valentine’s Day picnic in bed is an ideal way to enjoy delectable delights of all kinds. No need to worry about recharging your batteries for your extended play session if you bring the right accoutrements to bed, namely sweet and savory items guaranteed to whet your appetite.

First, lay out an easy-to-wash picnic blanket to catch any crumbs and any, ahem, moisture. The Luscious Sex Blanket is a perfect moisture-proof playscape for your Valentine’s romp. Plush on one side, silky satin on the other and featuring an inner moisture barrier, it will keep your dry-clean only duvet spotless.

Now, what’s on the menu? Let your appetite be your guide. Here are some scrumptious suggestions:

• A sprinkling of Kama Sutra Honey Dust, made with pure, natural honey has a delicate scent and irresistible taste. Tickle and tease your partner with the soft feather applicator.

• Create an edible masterpiece with Belgian Chocolate Body Paint. This quality chocolate is sure to please the most discriminating chocoholic.

• Did you know the strawberry was a symbol of Goddess of Love Venus, because of its color and heart shape? Best of all, this fruit is just perfect for dipping in melted chocolate to feed your lover.

• Make oral sex even more fun with flavored lubes like ID Juicy Lubes or naturally flavored condoms like O’My Blo condoms.

• Grapes, a la Marc Anthony feeding Cleopatra, will ramp up your desire. Just be sure to buy the seedless variety!

• Because tingles shouldn’t be limited to below the belt, tickle both your tongues with a mouthful champagne as you kiss.

• To heat up your romantic romp, use edible oils that warm the skin and get hotter with the softest of blows, like Oil of Love.

• How many licks does it take to get to the centre? Find the answer with the help of silky, sultry Body Licks Skin Candy.

• Nipples will stand at attention with the help of a fruity balm like Nipple Nibblers. Or apply to your lips before giving your sweetie a surprisingly tingly kiss.

• Don’t forget honey, perfect for drizzling. An added bonus is honey is a natural moisturizer.

• Top off your lover with whipped cream and a cherry.

Romantic, Sexy Valentine Gift Ideas & Tips

Planning a romantic day or event for your special "someone" to celebrate Valentine's Day? Some people love to eat out in restaurants, and others don’t on such a special day like Valentine's Day, which has become one of the busiest days in the restaurant year! Usually there's inflated menu prices and you are pushed out the door to turn the table over to the next couple. Why not save money and have a romantic atmosphere at home for as long as youd’ like, play and have a fun romantic valentines! Make it a cozy night for two with romance, you and your love... what more could you ask for? Staying home to celebrate Valentine's Day can be a very rewarding experience because you have a tendency to feel more at ease in your own home.

Enjoy some quiet conversation, lots of mood music to keep the evening romantic, maybe a little dancing in the kitchen? If you love to cook and have the time knock yourself out! But don’t spend so much time cooking and cleaning that you lose sight of the goal which is to have a romantic evening with your lover.


Part of making any event memorable is the special care and touch that is put into it. The littlest things are the ones that end up meaning the most. Here’s some ideas and tips to make a perfect romantic Valentine evening:

• Select Mood Enhancers for Valentines – what type of mood you want to set. Ask yourself what it is that you are trying to accomplish and what mood you want to convey: playful, romantic, sexy... all the above... :) Before you go about getting everything ready, make sure you know where you want to end up!
  


• Surprise your sweetie by wearing a Valentines gift. Wear a sexy outfit (how about a Romantic Lace Bodystocking or Croquette French Lace & Lycra Set) ... or, if you're brave, nothing at all!
  


• Stage a progressive romantic love dinner for valentines and serve each course in a different room with the dessert ending up in the bedroom! Lead your lover down a path of silk rose petals to the room of choice.
  


• Keep the meal flavorful and not too heavy for a romantic valentines. Overeating will most likely leave you feeling sleepy rather than erotic. Maybe Salmon vs. Steak, rice vs. potatoes. Appetizers vs. entrees. Unless you have large appetites you may prefer to split one entrée between the two of you. And leave the dessert for later - in the bedroom!
  


• If you choose to drink, keep the amount of alcohol to a minimum (a glass or 2 of wine or champagne). Excessive alcohol will make you too drowsy for the after-dinner romance. Excellent alternatives are sparking juices in a cocktail glass over ice.
  


• Lets talk about a sexy dessert menu after Valentines dinner….slide into a sexy lingerie and serve some chocolate on a platter ( ou can make dessert fun and sexy by serving chocolate Tattoo Set or Chocoholics Chocolate Body Frosting). Lure your lover into the bedroom with lit sexy Body Candles which also has a dual function as massage oil. The mystical potion transforms from a hot dripping wax into a glistening oil and penetrating body lotion.
  


• Rent your favorite romantic movies, make some popcorn and hot chocolate, and stay up all night watching movies and cuddling (maybe use some Bare Essence Pheromones (nature's "sex signals") and you’ll lover won’t stay off you!)
  


• Surprise your lover with a bubble bath for two as a present for valentines day. Take turns reading a sexy or romantic book aloud to each other (may we suggest Aqua Erotica - Waterproof erotic story book). Introduce a sexy waterproof vibrator (Laya Spot by Fun Factory) or a fun waterproof vibrator (maybe something like the I Rub My Duckie Waterproof Vibrator) and splish splash away!
  


• Invite your partner to play a game of poker. Take notepaper and rip ten or more pieces of paper. Tell your partner to write down things they want to do or not have to do and make them neutral so that the opposing partner can use them as well. Play poker and gamble using the strips of paper for ante. Do not look at which ones you use just ante up. Or better yet, try the famous game “ Poker for Lovers Game” This erotic game has you betting sexy activities. Play by the same rules as regular poker except you'll be betting make-out sessions and playful spankings.
  


• Do your lover's secret fantasy. It’s the perfect time to bring out something that you typically do throughout the year. Have some fun role-playing with sexy lingerie costumes. Maybe a Naughty nurse, Frisky French Maid, Private School Girl, or a Police Women? Surprise your lover with a new couples sex toys and enjoy!
  


• Satisfy your lover’s carnal cravings with Body Licks Body Candy in a variety of sexy flavours like Strawberry Cheesecake, White Chocolate and Key Lime. Or treat your sweetheart to a sensuous massage – and enjoy a sweet treat – with naturally flavoured, non-sticky Naked Edible Massage Oil.
  


• Pass on the expected roses and boxed chocolate, Surprise your sweetheart with a seductive Valentine’s lap dance or strip tease. The Strip to It Bump ‘n’ Grind DVD and CD provides all the instruction you’ll need to give him a V-Day delight he won’t soon forget. Oh ya, and don’t forget the sexy feather boa!



• No time to shop? No problem. Pick up a pre-packaged, themed Honeycomb Gift Box for your main squeeze , wife or lover. Choose from several different themes or design your own Honeycomb Gift Box for a romantic sexy Valentines. Just select ideal gifts (sex toys like the famous Rabbit Habit Dual Vibrator (aka Jack Rabbit) other vibrators) you know your partner will love and for just $2.99 more, we’ll package them in a Honeycomb Gift Box, ready for giving. We’ll do all the work, you’ll reap all the, er, rewards. No need to thank us.

Tips to make your sexual relationships fun

Of course you love your significant other. But do you still lust after them? If you want to keep that just-can’t-get-enough-of-each-other vibe alive, there’s a four-letter word you need to know: PLAY. Did you know that extended foreplay intensifies the “Big O”? Not only that, but sexperts agree that bringing play into the boudoir improves communication and deepens your relationship. And if there’s something you’ve been too shy to bring up with your partner, a little laughter can be a big icebreaker. So, what are you waiting for? Here are some ideas for playing your way to new heights of passion.

• If you loved playing dress up as a kid, why stop now? Always wanted to be a Vegas showgirl? Break out the sequins and feathers. Got a French Maid fetish? Naughty Nurse Nancy? Wicked schoolgirl? Whatever your fantasy, indulge it!
• To increase intimacy and take your relationship to a new level of sensuality, sex therapists recommend grownups-only board games such as A Hot Affair or the Kama Sutra Game. Learn new things about your partner – and yourself – while you enjoy an evening of sexy fun.
• Always been a water baby? Light some candles, fill the bath with bubbles and dive in with your partner. Scrub your sweetie’s back and don’t forget your favourite (vibrating) rubber duckie!
• Explore your artistic side and get your creative juices flowing. Use chocolate body paint to doodle, draw or write messages on your partner’s erogenous areas. Lick them off for a sweet treat.

Sexy Valentines Bath or Hot Tub for two?

Turn the bath into a romantic sexy getaway for two on Valentines. Here's some great suggestions to think about on making the special day bubbly and very erotic!

When your loved one get's home from work (you left early to prepare of course!), drop a path of rose petals from the front door into the bathroom or towards the hot tub...this will set the mood for sure!

Light a few candles and dim the lights. Some of my girlfriends favorites are the body candles, which can be used as body oil as well. Body Candles have a fragranced combination of waxes and oils designed for erotic massage. The body candle burns like a typical aromatic candle, creating a mood and filling the air with enticing scents. It drips and pours over your skin like a regular wax candle leaving sensations of warmth.

Drop an exotic scoop of Treasures of the Sea in your bath, which will transport it into the shimmering turquoise waters of the ocean. Try any kind of sensual bath salts (not sleepy lavendar though) maybe something like Kama Sutra Treasures of the Sea.

Are you the Naughty or the Nice girl? It doesn't matter when you can choose from two fun vibrator designs.

For the Naughty girl. There's Red Devil Duckie who is a good duck gone bad! This devil is dressed for mischief and powered up for fun. Costumed in a flowing red cape and cute little horns, this duckie is perfect for the bath, pool or spa. Designed to make your first shared bath especially invigorating!

For the Nice girl. About half the size of the Red Devil Duckie, I Rub My Duckie is perfectly sized for travel. Exceptionally quiet, it offers amazingly strong vibration. With its innocent eyes and traditional rubber duck body, it is the most discreet massager/vibrator available. Just press down on duckie's back and relax as powerful waves of vibration soothe away the stresses and tensions of daily life.

Splish splash, have some fun and sex on valentines!

Valentines Keeping relationships hot and sexy

Forgetting Valentine's Day is an almost unforgivable offence in a relationship.

I found an interesting article that uncovered some great facts about how men and women view valentines today, make sure you don't forget about your loved ones!

Harlequin Enterprises survey uncovers that Valentine's Day is an important date on the calendar for 68% of North Americans, who usually celebrate with someone special. (website link)

Love & Marriage: Conventional wisdom may hold that the romance wanes after the honeymoon is over, but the Harlequin respondents beg to differ. The survey shows that celebrating with someone special is far more popular among marrieds (81%) than singles (59%).

It's A Man's World: While women are often thought to be the more romantic sex, Valentine's Day seems to be more important to men, who are more likely to say they celebrate with someone special (73% vs. 64%) and are more likely to buy a gift (84% vs. 66%). And 72% of the men in the survey report love-making as one of their frequent February 14th activities, while just 57% of the women reciprocate.

Remember Me?: Over half of the men in the survey (54%) agree that “Forgetting Valentine's Day is an almost unforgivable offence in a relationship” versus just 36% of the women. Perhaps that gap is the reason that almost eight in ten (79%) agree that “women should keep in mind that the day is not just for them,” a statement that gets the nod more often from women (83%) than men (75%).
